Summary

Something a little different this week, as you may have guessed from the title. All is explained at the start of the episode, but the long and the short of it is that the episode I completed for this week, seemed, in light of the current events, somewhat tasteless to me if I'd have released it right now. So... for now that episode is benched to return at a later date and instead, I put together a very quick episode introducing the genius of M R James and have narrated two of my favourite of his stories for your listening terror! Normal service will be resumed from next episode, I appreciate the patience for bearing with me on this one and I hope you all understand where I was coming from in making this last minute switcheroo.

0:47.0	Today's episode, as you probably will have guessed, is going to be slightly different.
0:52.0	It's been a pretty strange week. I want to
0:55.0	say straight off the bat that I make this podcast really is an escape. I'm not sure
1:01.6	if everybody knows the story but basically when I started making
1:06.3	this podcast it was really an escape because I was suffering from quite a lot of
1:11.4	anxiety at the time and I just used the podcast as a way to kind of escape that and I kind of hope that a lot of people use the podcast as an escape as well.

1:46.0	All of the archives are closed in England for the foreseeable, but I have lined up a series of episodes that I can do that I have all
